Theralase Technologies Inc. V.TLT

Where are they at with their COVID treatment plans?

[VerusSemperSors]

I'm sure that someone out there will have much deeper knowledge on this topic than I have. I believe there was a press release about this work back in January that seemed to promptly pop the SP up 15 or 20%.

The fact that the type of vaccine Theralase is collaborating on is not variant dependant should be meaningful. Im alwaya at a loss as to why the market is failing to recognize the tech this company is developing.

It was my understanding, that for the research being done now, 1433 will be used to kill a virus which will then be purified to produce a vaccine.  Therefore it will be variant dependent, depending on what variant you start with.   If we could use 1433 itself as a drug, eg. injected into the body, then it might be variant independent.  But to use it as a drug, we would first

  Creating a universal vaccine for a constantly evolving/mutating RNA virus is a challenge to say the least, & far from being a reality.  Like with the flu vaccine, what works one given year may be ineffective the next...  The hope is by using TLD-1433 (or a newer derivative compound) against "currently circulating" variants, one can produce a vaccine that can

Covid-19 Vaccine... greaterfoolFred, I think that what Longholder99 is referring to when he said " not variant dependant" is in the PressRelease April 9,2021. The PHAC(Public Health Agency Of Canada) said " Our research expertise will help assist TLT to research and develop an effective Covid-19 vaccine that is robust enough to vaccinate against the " main phenotype" of

[Longholder99]

Exactly Wildbird. Thx

[greaterfoolFred]

Yes Longholder99 and Wildbird, you guys are right about the press release, but I think it was a bit optimistic.  If you make a vaccine by killing a whole virus, then it may be more effective against variants than a mrna vaccine that only makes the spike protein.  But early data (which I hope is wrong) says that the Astrazenica vaccine, which is from whole virus, doesn't seem to be

If Theralase can give us any positive news from work on Covid  like animal testing or anything that looks even slightly promising, our stock will move upwords big times.

[Oilminerdeluxe]

That's what they did with cancer and look where that got us, lol. But I hope you are right of course.

[CancerSlayer]

  The hope is our whole virus-killing technology can expose unique immunogenic viral antigens (kill me signals).  However, using a killed or inactivated whole virus vaccine without having a proper adjuvant can potentially reduce vaccine efficacy regardless of antigen variant type.  Vaccine adjuvants can play as critical a role in triggering an effective/lasting immune response as

I wonder how much worked they have gotten done on this. If any material. Hope so of course.  So quiet on this front, I am not sure what to believe.

This is also very interesting - a review of the Pfizer vaccine approval process as written by the New England Journal of Medicine in December, 2020 and it has not been retracted - which probably suggests there is truth to it and it is not "misinformation" - what with the New England Journal of Medicine being a very well recognized organization. Interesting as to how Pfizer got FDA

[Pandora]

I picked this up off the CYDY board on Yahoo. Just to give rise to how different people perceive things, one of the comments there was, "this has nothing to do with Pfizer, it is just a report about the poor management of a single contract firm out of Texas" - or words to the effect, i.e. not a direct quote.

[Yajne]

Im also surprised that so far no 'grants' have been awarded for such an important initiative. But then again, the 'powers that be' might have assumed that the existing vaccines have provided a  complete solution. Obviously not, and that reality now appears to be emerging again

[Oilminerdeluxe]

Maybe some small update will arrive soon. Hope so, but not counting on it. Wise from past experience. Not much longer to wait for new data

[gojotv!]

THIS, among other developments under the TLT umbrella, points to why I don't believe we should sell out to Big Pharma. They have a reason to shut this knoeledge down, to say nothing of the monetary loss for current shareholders. It would be much better to create a Canadian Big Pharma company that would give Canada the pharma independance we need (Covid showed us that.) and our youth the
